George Osborne can sue me, says former escort agency boss

Former escort agency boss Natalie Rowe was a surprise caller to London talk radio station LBC on Tuesday. Rowe, you may remember, claims to have been friends with the chancellor, George Osborne, and alleged that they once took cocaine together, an allegation that Osborne has always vigorously denied. Rowe, who has joined the ever-lengthening queue of people who may have had their phones hacked by the News of the World, said she would welcome the opportunity to see Osborne in court. "That's my preference," she told James O'Brien, the presenter. "The point is that he is the chancellor and he should tell the truth." Rowe said the public perception of her was unfair. "The public don't know me, they haven't met me. The word 'prostitute' conjures up all sorts of connotations. I'm a human being." An appearance on ITV1's This Morning can only be a celebrity booker's phone call away.
